Warder is often used in the context of jails and penitentiaries.

Prison Context

Warder connotes an authoritative role within a prison setting.

Authority Figure

Unlike police, a warder's authority is limited to the prison they work in.

Warder can refer to a ceremonial item carried as a symbol of office.

The term warder as a staff is often found in historical or fantasy literature.

In its archaic sense, a warder symbolizes authority much like a scepter.
